INVOCATION

The invocation was given by President Jerry L. Carl, District 3.

______

Dena Pollard, Public Affairs Manager: Good morning, Commissioners. The first speaker is City of Mobile Council Member Bess Rich, District 6 to discuss the Nevius Road Extension.

President Jerry L. Carl: Good morning, Council Member Bess Rich. How are you?

Bess Rich, City of Mobile Council Member District 6: Good morning. I am terrific. Thank you so much. Thank you for this ability to address you about your agenda item dealing with Nevius Road Extension. On the City of Mobile’s City Council’s agenda for tomorrow is also the agreement. After much research and thought, I have concluded this is a very flawed process at this time. If you look at the agreement you have in front of you, and for those not familiar with Nevius Road, it is considered a major street by our pavement assessment. It is a street that gets a lot of use. When the City of Mobile annexed the area in 2008, they took on Nevius Road off of Hillcrest Road. It was constructed to County standards, which meant it did not have curb and gutter, it has open drainage, and is substantially different than the roads we normally build in the City of Mobile. We have regulations and rules. I have a question about number four (#4) on page two (2) of your agreement.

President Carl: Can you tell us what agenda item this is?

W. Bryan Kegley II, County Engineer: Item number seventeen (#17).

October 26, 2020

Bess Rich: On page two (2) of the agreement, if you’ll refer to where it says the County shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. My question is does the County, who will be letting go this contract, prepare to do what is normally done in a City of Mobile street construction, which would be curb, gutter, drainage not in an open ditch format, lighting of the street, and rights-of-way for sidewalks? Those are standard for part of a road construction.

W. Bryan Kegley II: Would you like for me to address this?

President Carl: I would love for you to. That is why I am giving you the hard stare.

W. Bryan Kegley II: The segment of Nevius Road Extension we are proposing to construct is indeed inside of the City of Mobile city limits. The segment located just to the east of Hillcrest Road has portions that are in the County and are maintained by the County. It is an open ditch section. We are proposing to construct the segment from Hillcrest Road westward over to Sollie Road in substantial conformance with what is located east of Hillcrest Road. It will comply with all of the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) specifications. That is what the Pay-As-You-Go Program mandates. We have submitted our plans with sixty percent (60%) to the City of Mobile Engineering Department. We have received their red line comments and we are in the process of incorporating those red line comments into our ninety percent (90%) design plans. We did not and do not anticipate building a curb or gutter section. If the City of Mobile requires that, we thought they would have let us know that several years ago. We do not have the funding set up for that. If the paragraph Council Member Bess Rich, District 6 is referring to mandates it be a curb and gutter section, then I recommend we just remove that section or revise it because we do not have the funding for it.

President Carl: Council Member Bess Rich, District 6, are you prepared to pick up the additional cost if we go with the curb, gutter, and lighting?

Bess Rich: I would submit that I am lobbying the Administration Department to not do a substandard road and to not bless what is basically not allowed by anyone who would construct a street system in the City of Mobile. However, I do think there is also another pathway forward. It is why I would love for this to slow down. I would like to work with the owners because the County and the City of Mobile have allocated funds, we normally do not do this for private property. Normally when someone comes into the City of Mobile to construct a street, it’s tied to subdivision of the property. This one is not. I think

October 26, 2020

that is giving the City of Mobile and County the excuse to do it to a substandard condition. It is something the citizens of Mobile deserve better because you have open ditches and you have no lighting on a street in what is considered a major road in our city. It is not a minor street. It is already labelled and I imagine the extension will keep the same label being a major road. We know the traffic will build on the street once it is constructed. My office already gets calls about Nevius Road that’s in the city limits because we are used to street lights and adequate sides of the road that do not include open ditch drainages. As a matter of fact, Council Members work really hard to close up open ditches because they breed mosquitoes and they are not as safe in a roadway system. It is why we have these rules and regulations. Normally if you come to the City of Mobile, this would not pass our Engineering Department at all for construction because it’s missing the components of an adequate road improvement program. By getting the County to let go of this, I think that’s a way to get it accomplished but not in a manner that is normal for the City of Mobile. When we have Pay-As-You-Go projects, it’s my understanding for the most part that the County hands over the funding to the City of Mobile. When the program is in the city limits, the road is constructed to city standards. This is completely reversed and it is creating an opening of private property which will have value and will also be good for the City of Mobile to continue a major road. I get all of this. My office has not been involved with any of the plans or any of the information on this program. I understand another reason to slow this down is the property is actually not in the public’s trust yet. That would be another reason to slow this down and not proceed with the agreement as it is written. I believe there needs to be another party at the table in order to accomplish this goal and make sure that the road constructed does not have to be maintained later along with funding to make it safer and keep consistent with the rest of the City of Mobile’s road segments. We only have the Nevius Road now in the city limits because we annexed it in. It was already constructed. It would never have been constructed if it had been in the city under those conditions with the open ditches, no curbs, no gutters, and no street lights. These are things that make a road safer and it is why we require these of developers and for the private sector when they are opening up their property for development.

Commissioner Connie Hudson: President Carl, I have some questions and I will direct these to W. Bryan Kegley II, County Engineer first. This does seem to be very unusual. I did not notice when I first received the agreement that the County is overseeing the work and that it is built to County standards. I completely understand what Council Member Bess Rich, District 6 is saying. Having represented a City Council district, I know how

October 26, 2020

important it is that our roads meet all city standards with curb, gutter, lighting requirements, and so forth. It certainly hits a cord with me. I don’t understand the unusual nature of this. Why is the County overseeing this project as opposed to providing the funds to the City of Mobile as we do with other roads like Zeigler Boulevard and other roads that are a part of our Pay-As-You-Go Program? The other question I have is why would the City of Mobile not require this project to meet their own standards if they require developers and everybody else who brings plans to the City of Mobile for road improvements? They have certain standards they have to meet, why is this an exception? The last thing on my mind is the concern of if the County builds this road and it is not to city standards, how and what guarantee would we have that the City of Mobile would even accept maintenance on this road? Do we know for a fact at this point?

W. Bryan Kegley II: Commissioner, other than verbal assurances from the City of Mobile, we do not have an assurance that they will accept maintenance other than the fact it is within their jurisdiction of city limits. To address the previous question of how this became a County-led project, there was a desire from certain entities that we push this road through to release some of the congestion on Hillcrest Road by Cottage Hill Road. Right now a substantial amount of traffic going westbound on Nevius Road turns north on Hillcrest Road and it makes its way northward up to Cottage Hill Road and Grelot Road. This would allow an opportunity for traffic to make their way all the way over to Sollie Road and therefore reduce some of the congestion. As you know, Sollie Road is developing rather rapidly. It would also open up a substantial area for development within the city limits of the City of Mobile. I think there was a prevailing attitude this was an advantageous project and the County was willing to serve as the leading agency moving forward with the design, the bidding, the construction, and everything in accord with Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) specifications and matching the typical section of the roadway located just to the east of Hillcrest Road.

Jay Ross, County Attorney: Can I add just one thing? The proposal in front of you and the one Council Member Bess Rich, District 6 has, there were some changes made by Flo Kessler, Chief Assistant City of Mobile Attorney. I would like to point out at least paragraph seven (7) and answer Commissioner Hudson’s comments. I am paraphrasing here. Paragraph seven (7) says upon accepting the final qualities in the contract and et cetera, once the work has been completed, the County would convey its interests, maintenance, and rights-of-way to the City of Mobile. On page three (3) paragraph seven (7) addresses that. The document you see and presented to the Commission today does

October 26, 2020

come after a review of changes by Ricardo Woods, City of Mobile Attorney and Flo Kessler, Chief Assistant City of Mobile Attorney for whatever that is worth.

Commissioner Hudson: What I am hearing is this matter has not been voted on by the City Council yet. It is up for consideration. If for whatever reason Council Member Bess Rich, District 6 concerns are shared by the other Council Members who may be concerned about substandard, according to City of Mobile standards, roads that do not meet standards they’ve set and they’re concerned about those being built in their districts, then they may decide to not approve this. I know this is a Pay-As-You-Go Program project but I am wondering would it not be prudent to wait, set this aside, and work through these issues to make sure the road is at least meeting whatever standards the City of Mobile feels like is a minimum to set up on Nevius Road. I think she has a good point. There are safety issues as you have to have lights. This is a very dark area. There is no development in there. If I were still representing District 6, I would have the same exact concerns.

President Carl: Let me address this. Council Member Bess Rich, District 6, you and I have been talking about this for about four (4) years, so it’s not something we have just sprung on you. We had a couple of meetings.

Bess Rich: No. We have not had official meetings. My office at least. We did talk.

President Carl: You were involved in community meetings we did have. You have never expressed any of these concerns to me. Why now? This project goes back about five (5) or six (6) years. It was an idea Joe Ruffer, former County Engineer, had twenty (20) plus years ago. That was the whole reason for cutting Nevius Road through where it is at now with the intentions of carrying it all the way through for traffic flow. None of this has come up. We had it on the 2018 Pay-As-You-Go Program. We have it on the 2020 Pay-As-You-Go Program. None of these concerns have come up until the last meeting I have sitting here and I am curious why.

Bess Rich: Okay. That is an excellent question and I do not blame you for asking it. When I was approached about opening up Nevius Road as W. Bryan Kegley II, County Engineer, has already stressed, this will be a good street to have in our inventory because of the crowding of Hillcrest Road. People can only get from Sollie Road, Grelot Road, and Cottage Hill Road right now. It will open up another leg so to speak. When Nevius Road opened up, Hillcrest Road took a lot of that traffic because people can go all the way out to I-10 or to Highway 90. That is why it is a major road. My office never objected, however,

October 26, 2020

the last time I spoke to anybody about this was with our City Engineer. I assumed the road would be built to City of Mobile standards. I never dreamt it would be done by the County because that is not how we do things through the Pay-As-You-Go Program. It is always the city takes control and the city does the construction. There is a history there. My alarm buttons came up last week at the City Council when City of Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson put the one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000.00) in to end this agreement and it came into my office. I was not privy. I have not seen any drawings. I do not know how large the slopes are for the open drainage. Perhaps when it is developed, sidewalks would come from the developers that develop off of that street. If there are huge elevations and slopes to the drainage, there will never be that connectivity. We have worked really hard to not waive sidewalk connections. It is essential to quality of life. My office is already being asked to put lighting on Nevius Road. As a matter of fact, I worked with your office, which I thanked you at the time, to help get at least a street light at the intersection of Hillcrest Road and Nevius Road. The rest of the roadway is unlit. Without any development and opening this up, it is perhaps creating a liability with open ditches, no lighting, and it is substandard. I don’t think any Council Member or anybody in the City of Mobile would be proud to be a part of this agreement. I would work with my colleagues to make sure the right funding was in place. I do not mean to blindside you by any stretch because your timing and my timing are just now colliding. This was only before me last week. We get one (1) week to rest an item. This will be voted on, but I will lobby very hard that not everyone is at the table, myself included, and also the fact that it was not done to City of Mobile standards. We have standards for safety reasons.

President Carl: Why didn’t you apply those standards to Schillinger Road when we widened Schillinger Road through your district?

Bess Rich: Schillinger Road already existed.

President Carl: We widened it through your district.

Bess Rich: This is a brand new street.

President Carl: Schillinger Road still has open ditches and no sidewalks. Hillcrest Road is another example.

Bess Rich: I will give you a very good example of the City of Mobile working with a developer in District 6. There were two (2) dirt roads and there were two (2) programs a developer wanted to put in. It was student housing at the ends of these dirt roads. The City of

October 26, 2020

Mobile would not approve their subdivision of the property unless they created the street all the way down to Old Shell Road, under their financial ability to do it, with curbing, gutter, sidewalks, and lighting. That is an example that a right-of-way was already secured. Developers give the right-of-way to the City of Mobile all of the time. It is not a gift. It allows them the ability to construct something and get to their projects and programs for future development.

President Carl: Council Member Bess Rich, District 6, if this item were to be held over, would you be willing to work with your colleagues and with the Administration Department to find a way to add additional funds to this project to add these amenities that are part of the City of Mobile standards?

Bess Rich: Yes. I truly see this as the key. When something is in the Pay-As-You-Go Program and it is in the City of Mobile city limits, it’s built to city standards. Especially something new. My office was not included other than casual conversations with interested parties. I don’t disagree. I have watched the Pay-As-You-Go Programs, but I assumed the Pay-As-You-Go Program would grow. I know the first segment was for the planning of the street. This year has additional funding and so my office just assumed this was a growing program to then also meet standards. I never dreamt it would be built to County standards, not that there’s anything wrong with your County standards. We are an urban area. This is an area that was due to grow and deserves to have a street that everyone can look at and say it was done correctly. This one will not be done correctly until all of those changes will be made. I say do it at the planning and do it from the get-go. That’s why I am asking you to rest this now because that is exactly what I will ask at the City Council meeting. If the City of Mobile is unwilling to add additional funds to meet their code with resources they have available, then the people interested in seeing this happen for their development perspectives and future should be at the table. Normally the City of Mobile and the County is not at the table with a private sector developer.

President Carl: We deal with private developers all of the time. We are constantly working with developers on the right-of-way. That is not an unusual thing for us. We have worked with this group for three (3) or four (4) years. It is not much longer than that. It is not like this is something that just popped up.

Bess Rich: I understand that.

President Carl: I am curious on the timing more than anything. Do you realize how much money we have spent?

October 26, 2020

Bess Rich: Yes.

President Carl: It’s unfair.

Bess Rich: The thing is the road is needed. I just never dreamt it would be a substandard street under the inventory of the City of Mobile. It was out of my equation. I do not apologize for that. It is what the normal course would be.

President Carl: With all due respect, the infrastructure in the City of Mobile needs some help. You have nowhere to grow, no real path of new subdivisions, and we needed a thoroughfare to pull traffic off of Sollie Road. This is the answer for it. The fact it does not meet your requirements, I am okay with that as long as you pay for the lights, the curb, the gutter, et cetera. That is fine. We are not building this for developers. We are building this for traffic flow for us.

Commissioner Hudson: I think that is what she is asking for.

President Carl: Then let her come up with the money.

Commissioner Hudson: I think she wants the opportunity to try to identify it.

President Carl: I think it is unfair.

Commissioner Hudson: I think it is fair to honor her request. She represents this district. She has a lot of people that would be impacted by this as well as the whole City of Mobile. I think to delay this long enough to figure out a way to try to identify additional funds to bring this road up to standard is not too much to ask.

President Carl: I am not in favor of pulling it off the agenda. If we pass it, it gets kicked to you. If you can kill it in the City Council meeting, so be it. That is fine. If everybody is stuck in traffic on Sollie Road and on Hillcrest Road, keep in mind that we tried to help.

Bess Rich: I would hope we would try to keep them as safe as possible and meet city standard.

President Carl: Of course. That is the reason I installed lights at the intersection as you requested.

Bess Rich: We received one light for it. I do not know what the electrical source is out there.

President Carl: Is that not what you asked for?

October 26, 2020

Bess Rich: We asked for two (2) but we only received one (1).

President Carl: You didn’t want to pay for the second one?

Bess Rich: No. I was told twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) would be enough for both and that’s why we split it.

President Carl: Oh.

Bess Rich: I am not with Alabama Power, so I do not know all of the nuances. I was glad to see the light, but this whole street down on the other end also needs to be lit. It is not a safe street for people to drive. I have no idea what the contours are on the next part of the road extension. I would like to be able to see the plans. I would like to be at the table when we are this close to letting something go. I do not disagree with W. Bryan Kegley II, County Engineer or with Commissioner Jerry L. Carl because I know the road is needed. I don’t disagree but not in this condition. I feel citizens deserve a safer road in our corporate limits that actually meets the requirements.

President Carl: Then there should be pledges from the City of Mobile. Don’t you think that is a City of Mobile Engineering Department issue? They should have brought it to you and worked with you on it.

Bess Rich: I never had a conversation further with the City of Mobile City Engineer to assume that there would be anything that he would not pass if it was done within the City of Mobile. I cannot speak for him.

President Carl: I can’t control mine so I know I can’t control yours.

W. Bryan Kegley II: Commissioner, I might add the improvements made to Hillcrest Road, the Five Landing from Three Notch Road northward all the way up to Girby Road. That’s all four-lane and five-lane curb and gutter, no street lights involved with that. Several of the streets in West Mobile that are under city control were built with Pay-As-You-Go Program funds and there are no street lights on them. There are no street lights on the segment of Nevius Road to the east of Hillcrest Road going up toward Highway 90. The typical section we are proposing to build fits what is east of Hillcrest Road, albeit it is inside of the City of Mobile. If they needed us to build this to City of Mobile standards that they would like to see on their roads, then they should have brought this to our attention years ago.

October 26, 2020

President Carl: Years ago. That is the key word there.

W. Bryan Kegley II: We are looking at over five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) that we are getting ready to spend on this segment of road. If you want to go four-lane or five-lane, curb, and gutter, you are looking at about twelve million dollars ($12,000,000.00) or more. There is a lot of additional money involved.

Commissioner Merceria Ludgood: How much did you say?

W. Bryan Kegley II: Probably between eleven million dollars ($11,000,000.00) to twelve million dollars ($12,000,000.00) right now.

Commissioner Ludgood: The price of the road would double?

W. Bryan Kegley II: At least.

Commissioner Hudson: Bryan, what harm would it do to hold this over to be able to get an answer from the Administration Department regarding this project because if it fails, then that is money spent anyway.

W. Bryan Kegley II: If it fails, at that point in time, I would suggest we turn this project over to the City of Mobile and let them be the lead agency. We provide them with the funding we have set up along with the two (2) Pay-As-You-Go Programs and let them be the lead agency.

Commissioner Hudson: I think that is what their expectation is.

W. Bryan Kegley II: There will be some rights-of-ways and things of that nature with some of the property owners out there. I think we would be happy to do that. We would help in any way we could.

Commissioner Ludgood: We are in the design phase? We are at sixty percent (60%) of the design?

W. Bryan Kegley II: We are somewhere between sixty percent (60%) and ninety percent (90%) complete. Yes, ma’am.

Commissioner Ludgood: Of the design. Then we have permitting?

October 26, 2020

W. Bryan Kegley II: We have already reached agreements with the property owners out there for the dedication of the right-of-way at no charge to the County. There will be a little bit of utility relocation that will be involved. Other than that, we will be ready to go to construction within the next year.

Commissioner Ludgood: There will be no permits we have to get from the City of Mobile?

W. Bryan Kegley II: Through their Engineering Department, yes, by virtue of them reviewing the plans and approving the plans. Yes.

Commissioner Ludgood: This is my fear. We will approve this with one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000.00) and when we get all the way through to permitting, all of the issues being raised now will then pop up. We will have only asked the City of Mobile for one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000.00) and we will need a whole lot more than that to be able to complete this road. I feel very vulnerable trying to go back and ask for more. This number now does not seem meaningful in light of what we’re hearing from Council Member Bess Rich, District 6.

W. Bryan Kegley II: Absolutely. If they mandate a four-lane or five-lane road with curb and gutter that will negate all of the existing agreements for right-of-way dedication out there. It will probably at least double the cost of the road, maybe triple.

Commissioner Hudson: The City of Mobile will have put in one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000.00)?

W. Bryan Kegley II: What I would suggest at that time is we provide the City of Mobile by an inter-governmental agency agreement, the money we have dedicated to this project through the two (2) Pay-As-You-Go Programs, we provide them that amount of money. They can then come up with the remainder.

Commissioner Hudson: That seems like the safer way to go.

W. Bryan Kegley II: Yes. They would become the lead agency at that time.

Commissioner Ludgood: This felt like a good idea as long as it was floating along and we weren’t having problems with us being the lead agency.

W. Bryan Kegley II: We did not anticipate this at all.

October 26, 2020

Commissioner Ludgood: President Carl, do you have any level of discomfort about this?

President Carl: I do. I think the timing is just horrible. I think it is a setup. This has been five (5) years in the making. We have talked to everybody and we worked through the chain of command, which is through the engineers and their Engineering Department. The fact the City of Mobile Engineering Department is not dealing with City Council Member Bess Rich, District 6, has nothing to do with us. Everything has been above board. We have talked to everybody. My job is to talk to City of Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson. I have talked to him. That’s done. I feel like there is a lot more to this story than what is going on. You do what you feel like you need to do. Today is my last Commission Meeting, so it’s not a big deal. I think the taxpayers deserve to have their money spent better. I think we’ve wasted a whole bunch of money on this project for nothing, for political reasons, and that infuriates me. It’s the money. It’s not that I am not getting my way. I don’t care if the road is built or not. Someone will build that road one day. I think the politics here is the dangerous part of it. You’re fooling with the taxpayers’ money and that gets me upset. Let’s move on unless you have anything else to add.

Bess Rich: If I could clarify something. I am not going to apologize for the collision taking place right now because I cannot look at any agreements until they are given to my office. The last conversation I had was with the City Engineer. To me, that is something that says it is going to be done to City of Mobile standards. I believe there are two (2) pathways forward that are better than letting go of a substandard street in the City of Mobile. One would be to lobby the Administration of the City of Mobile, meaning not necessarily coming from all of you, but from my office to say that a substandard street should not be acceptable. There are additional funds, whether it is over a two-year period or more, but to not leave it in a condition it is now and to build something we know is not a safe road, especially on a major street. It is considered a major street according to pavement assessment. Then to look at working with the owners of the property because if everyone was to rest everything and not do anything, eventually someone is going to want to get to that property. They would have to come in and get it subdivided and then that would be built to City of Mobile standards. That is exactly how it would work. If there is an incentive like you said from City of Mobile and County at this point but doesn’t do it to a standard that should be followed throughout that area so we can have sidewalks, lighting, and everything that is required. Maybe we can make the street a certain width now with the right-of-way later because as I understand, it is a one hundred (100) foot right-of-way that is going to be deeded. At least

October 26, 2020

that is the information my office has. I have not seen any of the agreements other than what is in front of the City of Mobile City Council and that is to work an inter-governmental relationship and agreement with the County. It is not something my office has done. It is what I am reacting to and what I am trying to tell this Commission is something that is not the normal standard and should not be accepted by your Commission at this point until there are proper resources to construct the road as it should be constructed in the City of Mobile. That was always the assumption that my office took at all times.

President Carl: Okay.

Bess Rich: Not being in the recent conversations, you can ask personnel, I have not sat with any of them.

President Carl: Alright.

Bess Rich: I do not have the knowledge. I would have questioned it at that point. You would have heard a lot sooner that there were concerns that a substandard street was going to be built in the district my office represents. I am the biggest advocate for that district.

W. Bryan Kegley II: Commissioners, I might add that the review comments we received from the City of Mobile Engineering Department made no reference to additional typical section and additional pavement. They did have a few comments about concrete ditches and things of that nature. There was no mention of any substandard roadway typical section so we are marching ahead until we get orders from the Commission to stop.

President Carl: Alright. Thank you.

Bess Rich: Okay. It will be a County road then technically, because it wouldn’t meet the City of Mobile standards.

President Carl: I am not the one to make that decision because today is my last Commission Meeting.

Commissioner Ludgood: President Carl, may I ask Jay Ross, County Attorney, a question?

President Carl: Sure.

October 26, 2020

Commissioner Ludgood: Jay, if we approve this agreement today, everything goes haywire, and we end up in a situation where we are being asked to build a road we do not have the finances to do, can we walk away from this? That is what W. Bryan Kegley II, County Engineer, was suggesting. Can we just walk away from it and hand it to the City of Mobile and be done with it? Or are we still obligated under this agreement?

Jay Ross: No. The agreement has not been signed by the City of Mobile. If the Commission were to approve this today and if the City of Mobile does not approve it next Tuesday, we do not have an agreement.

President Carl: Then the project dies?

Jay Ross: If the City of Mobile does not approve it as presented, then it dies unless other arrangements are made.

President Carl: Let’s go ahead and push it on here and then let City Council Member Bess Rich, District 6 do what she is going to do on her end. If it dies, it dies. If it doesn’t die, great. We have a project.

W. Bryan Kegley II: That is what I would recommend, Commissioners. Let’s move ahead. If the City of Mobile decides they really do not want this street, let them kill it. I do want to point out we do have timeframe restraints within the right-of-way agreements with the property owners out there. We have to have this under construction within the next three (3) years, I believe, or those agreements we have are negated. There is a time frame involved here also.

President Carl: How much have we spent on this project so far? Just a rough guess.

W. Bryan Kegley II: Several hundred thousand dollars, President Carl.

President Carl: Okay.

Commissioner Hudson: President Carl, I would be in favor of honoring City Council Member Bess Rich’s, District 6, request to give her an opportunity to try to work this out with the Administration Department before we go through all of these steps which may be for naught in the end. If through the conversation with the Administration Department it appears we need to turn this project over to the City of Mobile, then that is what we can do. Let’s give her the benefit of having that conversation with the Administration Department and her colleagues to try and figure out a way to make this work. I don’t think this is all for naught and I don’t think anything is going to die. I think we

October 26, 2020

need to pause here and work with the City of Mobile and get the City of Mobile on board to meet their own standards. If they do not choose to do that then perhaps the project may die. I don’t know.

President Carl: Let’s leave it on the agenda and ladies, y’all can vote it up or vote it down, however you feel. Let’s move on.

Bess Rich: Thank you.

President Carl: Thank you.

Commissioner Ludgood: Council Member Rich, was it on your last Tuesday’s agenda?

Bess Rich: Yes.

Commissioner Ludgood: Okay. This is Monday and that was Tuesday. Have you had intervening conversations with the Engineering and Administration since then?

Bess Rich: I sent questions to the Administration Department and I received some answers even though they were not very clear. I asked if the rights-of-way had already been accepted by the Commission. I asked a lot of questions because that is all I can do when you are not at the table ahead of time to be aware of what was going on.

Commissioner Ludgood: What I am trying to get to is in those intervening conversations were you able to move? I am assuming we didn’t hear anything else from the City of Mobile saying we are not ready. Did you get any indication that there was going to be any movement to do anything?

Bess Rich: I can only work with my colleagues and I am planning to get with each of them through a letter and photos of Nevius Road and the condition it is in now along with knowing that is something we would not build in our city limits. I am not sure of how acutely they are aware of the need for the road. I want to represent the road would be needed but not in the condition of how it will be built out. Again, the Council and the Administration Department already hear about open ditches due to the need to clean them, the safety issues, and flooding they create and also about the lack of street lighting. I do not understand how a major road would be developed so it was a two-lane street when it’s already put down as a major roadway even the extension would be a major street. I had a million questions and I asked them. I got some information back but it got me to the point when I realized it was on your agenda, I didn’t even realize you were mirroring the City of Mobile City Council as far as the agenda items being the same. That is why I took the liberty to come down and address you at this point. It has

October 26, 2020

nothing to do with politics. There is nothing here because I agree with W. Bryan Kegley II, County Engineer. The road would be good. There is not a disagreement there. I know nothing about the topography of the area. I have never hiked it back there. I have never seen maps. I was not at the table. The last conversation I had about this project was strictly with our City Engineer. It was more than a year ago and it was a casual conversation. I assumed being from the City Engineer that the City of Mobile would oversee the program because I knew it was part of the Pay-As-You-Go Program. That’s a way to do projects. Sometimes Pay-As-You-Go Program projects are multi-years until the allocations are all together and moving in to do a proper construction. I know what rings my phone and I know what makes people feel unsafe in an area and to see a dark two-lane street corridor that we know will be utilized is setting everybody up for a very unsafe environment. No one would want to do that. No one is doing that consciously is what I am saying. That is going to be the end result of the way this agreement is written today if everyone proceeds. There are two (2) pathways forward. That is to make sure either the Administration Department steps up and says we will use additional surplus which they have to create the road so that it is properly constructed. Everyone can then say we did this to everyone’s standards within the City of Mobile and also to work with the owners to find out if there is a willingness besides giving the right-of-way, which is technically not a gift of property. That is something that has to be given in a development and it’s to say how much capital would you like to put towards this project to make it so that it’s a standard that when you do develop the area, the rest of the area develops in the proper manner. I was told we could get sidewalks from future developers but if there are open ditches, that is never going to happen. Again, I have not seen the plans. It is all of the stresses that we know create something that’s not a good environment is getting ready to percolate here and to move forward. I’m not saying anyone did anything that was wrong. It is just a matter of how do you do it the best you can on behalf of the people that you all represent? No one would want this in their district. It’s just going to be phone calls and concerns for a very long time until it’s repaired and fixed because those things are already happening on Nevius Road. I get concerns about Hillcrest Road not being lit appropriately all of the time.

President Carl: Then light it.

Bess Rich: Yes. We have done that. We have added sidewalks. We have done everything we can.

President Carl: We spent five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) to build a road. Light it. If that is what you want, light it. Do it.

October 26, 2020

Bess Rich: Okay, but this is a two-lane street that’s a major street and it’s not being constructed to our standard.

President Carl: We got that. We understand that. We are dealing with traffic flow. That is our focus, the traffic flow. We’re trying to keep people from having to go through Tillman’s Corner. We’re trying to take the traffic out of Tillman’s Corner and send it directly to the interstate. Traffic flow is what we understand. We are not set up for curbs and gutters. We are the County. If you want curbs, gutters, and lights, then you come up with the money.

Bess Rich: I do not disagree but while it is in its planning stages, this is the time to do it.

President Carl: You were not involved in the planning?

Bess Rich: It is harder to do that after it has been constructed and after you have put people into an unsafe environment.

President Carl: It is not an unsafe environment. You keep saying that and it’s not fair.

W. Bryan Kegley II: Commissioner, I may have to disagree with Council Member Bess Rich, District 6.

President Carl: We would never put someone in an unsafe environment. That’s unfair and you know it.

W. Bryan Kegley II: We are not going to construct a roadway segment that we consider to be unsafe. It will be very safe. It will comply with all of the County standards such as clear zones and slopes. It will be a safe environment. Same thing as east of Hillcrest Road. It is typical with planning agencies and constructing agencies such as the County Commission when we are building new roads, you build a segment that will last twenty (20) or thirty (30) years. You save the additional millions and millions of dollars to construct additional lanes at a later time. We did that with Schillinger Road and a lot of our major corridors. We build a two-lane section first and it suffices. Then we come back and build a five-lane curb and gutter section later. You are saving that thirty million dollars ($30,000,000.00) to forty million dollars ($40,000,000.00) over a period of twenty (20) to thirty (30) years. That is typical of how we do things. We are not going to build an unsafe segment of road.

Commissioner Hudson: We certainly don’t. We construct roads all of the time. However, would you not agree that in this case, if there was lighting along the

October 26, 2020

stretch of that road as opposed to no lighting, that it would not improve opportunities for safety?

W. Bryan Kegley II: I don’t think there’s a doubt in anyone’s mind that it would make it safer. That’s not to say it would be an unsafe road.

Commissioner Hudson: No, it would not be an unsafe road but it would improve safety and that’s exactly why the City of Mobile put those standards in place.

W. Bryan Kegley II: Okay. If they are willing to pay for that, then we need to hand this project over as the lead agency and we can provide them the funding we have allocated through the Pay-As-You-Go Programs. They can do whatever they want to. Commissioner Hudson: I think that would be an excellent idea and I would support that.

W. Bryan Kegley II: Okay.

President Carl: Alright.

Bess Rich: I think that is the whole idea. The timing to be here has nothing to do with anything personal because I agree the road would open up and would create a safety valve as far as egress and ingress to Highway 90 and I-10. At the same time, it is a major road. The link that you’re getting ready to do would probably be considered a major road as well. You are not talking about a rural area of town anymore. I am sorry if it seems as though it’s personal with saying something is unsafe but there are certain safety methods put in place on an urban street that should be a part of this construction. The time to do it is now, not later. I will do everything with my colleagues to ask them to hold this up as well because I think there are other pathways to do it a lot better. I cannot stress more passionately that it is my job as the Council Member to anticipate that when this is done in the condition that this agreement says will be constructed is not the standard for the City of Mobile streets.

President Carl: Okay. Thank you.

Dena Pollard, Public Affairs Manager: We have Darrell Eickholdt for Agenda Item number 42 (#42).

Darrell Eickholdt, 11560 Tanner Williams Road, Mobile, AL 36608: This is on the property across from Tanner Williams Road.

President Jerry L. Carl: Alright. Welcome.

October 26, 2020

Darrell Eickholdt: We live across the street from this property. We thought it was the property behind us that was being developed.

President Carl: Which one on here are you referring to?

Darrell Eickholdt: It is the property being subdivided on Jockish Road. I just talked to the owner. I guess he is talking two (2) three-acre lots and dividing it into a five-acre lot and a one-acre lot, is that correct? They are not building a subdivision there?

Commissioner Connie Hudson: That is correct.

Darrell Eickholdt: Okay. That was my concern that they were building a subdivision and we weren’t notified about it.

President Carl: We get that quite often. The word subdivision gets everyone stirred up. That is just the term we use to actually split a piece of property up.

Darrell Eickholdt: Yeah.

President Carl: Do we know if this is for family purposes?

W. Bryan Kegley II, County Engineer: They want to sell a piece of it.

Darrell Eickholdt: They sold it to somebody else. He had a shop on one part of it and a house on another part of it. He is keeping the shop but he sold the house. The gentleman wanted the back part of the other lot to be involved in the sale of the property. Instead of having three (3) acres, now the new owner will have five (5) acres.

Commissioner Hudson: Does that answer your question and delay your concern?

Darrell Eickholdt: Yes. That was my concern.

Commissioner Hudson: Okay. Thank you.

Darrell Eickholdt: Can I speak on the Nevius Road project?

President Carl: Sure.

Darrell Eickholdt: I drive on that road all of the time. We just came back from Florida and we took Nevius Road to get home. At Hillcrest Road and Nevius Road

October 26, 2020

intersection, she is correct. There is only one (1) light there along that road. Is there going to be a traffic light there or is that going to be a roundabout that will be involved?

W. Bryan Kegley II, County Engineer: Commissioners, my understanding is the light has been installed there presently is there structurally but has not been hooked up yet. The answer to the gentleman’s question is whenever this project is constructed, there will be a signalized intersection constructed at Hillcrest Road and Nevius Road.

President Carl: It will be a traffic light.

Darrell Eickholdt: It will be a traffic light?

President Carl: Yes, sir.

Darrell Eickholdt: I would rather have a roundabout.

President Carl: I would too. Those roundabouts are pretty expensive. I think they are about one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) a piece.

Darrell Eickholdt: Really? Compared to a traffic light?

President Carl: Well, no. They are a lot safer. I like roundabouts. Don’t get me wrong. I really do. They are just awfully expensive. Very expensive. They do prevent a lot of serious accidents. We may get a few little fender benders in the roundabout but we do not get any of the t-bone accidents. Those are the ones where people really get hurt. Hopefully we will get some more roundabouts in the future. Thank you.

Dena Pollard, Public Affairs Manager: We have three (3) individuals who would like to speak about AM/NS Calvert. We have Warren Matthews, Miriam Aerts, and Shawn Cochran.

Warren Matthews, Attorney for Burr and Forman: Commissioners, thank you so much for this opportunity to appear before you today. My name is Warren Matthews. I am with the law firm of Burr and Forman. I am here on behalf of AM/NS Calvert. With me today from the company are Miriam Aerts, Chief People Officer, and Shawn Cochran, General Manager of Manufacturing Technology and Project Manager. We are here before you today to respectfully request formal approval of part of the County’s incentives commitment for an exciting new expansion project that everybody within the Chamber of Commerce, the State of

October 26, 2020

Alabama, and County has referred to as Project Gator. Project Gator will entail the construction, equipping, and start-up of an electric arc furnace and some ancillary projects. Here are some details. The project will require an estimated six hundred eighty-five million dollars ($685,000,000.00) of capital investment. We are going to add an estimated two hundred (200) new project full-time employees and that represents about eleven million eight hundred thousand dollars ($11,800,000.00) of additional payroll each year. That will increase the company payroll to over one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000.00) each year. We are looking at a two-year construction and commissioning schedule. Once completed the project will be capable of producing one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) metric tons of steel slabs. Company officials have referred to Project Gator as a transformational opportunity for the Calvert facility. Project Gator will be very beneficial for the long-term sustainability of the Calvert facility. I am going to ask Miriam Aerts, Chief People Officer, to come speak a little bit about the company’s community involvement.

President Carl: Good morning.

Miriam Aerts, Chief People Officer: Good morning. I am going to say a few words about the engagement of AM/NS Calvert with the community. Like every other company, we have a strategy, we have a mission, and we have values for the execution of our business. On top of that, AM/NS Calvert has a very active focus and strategy on how we engage with the community. We have defined a couple of chapters where we focus on with our community. We have education, workforce development, environment, health and wellness, and engagement as such. We have that on three (3) different levels. One is we do grants, sponsorships, and donations focused on organizations who are working around the chapters that I just told you about. In the last three (3) years, we have spent one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) on money we give out to education forces like the universities, on minority groups, and on other elements like environmental groups in the area. The second one is our active involvement as a company. Again it is focused on education, environment, health and wellness, and what we do for example is we are very active in all initiatives that focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) because of all of the STEM Programs which is a hot topic in a lot of the schools. We are actively working with different schools with different programs. We fully sponsor a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) camp that is in Citronelle, Alabama every year. Unfortunately, not this year because of COVID-19. It is all paid for by AM/NS Calvert. We give children who normally do not have the opportunity to engage in these activities. We give them a week-long experience where they play with different sciences, Lego blocks, and other

October 26, 2020

projects. We also sponsor the best robotics camp in that area. Many schools are focusing on the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) activities. We do summer interns. We sponsor a world of opportunities. We have an initiative from a school opportunity that allows children to have a taste of different jobs once they have graduated. We have a good amount of our team members who are on the board of different organizations with the universities and with local organizations. As an organization, we are also very involved in Project Lead the Way, which is a relatively new program where certain schools who are volunteering to try new methods of teaching and where they prove to the kids that whatever they learn in school is useful in their day-to-day life. We have donated materials and lectures. We are engaged in that as well. Last but not least, we initiated a year ago a program called Calvert Cares. Calvert Cares is our own team members who volunteer to do all kinds of initiatives within the community. We have hundreds and hundreds of hours from the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to anybody in the company goes out during their free time and volunteers in education, in clean up, in the Chili Cook-Off for Cancer Awareness, et cetera. Every year we decide what we are going to sponsor, where we’re going to give our time to, and to show that as an organization we really want to engage with the community and give back to the community in different ways. Thank you.

President Carl: Thank you.

Warren Matthews: Thank you, Miriam. The specific request that I believe is Agenda Item Number eighteen (#18) before you today is a non-educational property tax abatement for years eleven (11) through twenty (20) for the project. On behalf of AM/NS Calvert, we truly appreciate your consideration of this request and we thank you for your time.

President Carl: Thank you, sir.

AGENDA #18

APPROVE TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT/AM/NS CALVERT LLC

Commissioner Connie Hudson: I would like to thank all of the representatives here today from AM/NS Calvert. Miriam, thank you for telling us about your community support, the focus on education, and your engagement efforts. I think that is very important for us to hear. We appreciate the investment AM/NS Calvert has made in our community over all of these years. We have been partners all of the way. It has been a very good partnership. I won’t belabor my comments from Thursday, but I would say that all of that aside, I think the investment the County has made in this partnership all of these many years ago with the initial partnership with ThyssenKrupp which was later purchased by AM/NS still transcends that ownership. The amount of funding the County has put into this partnership as an incentive investment to have this steel manufacturing work happen in Calvert, Alabama has been substantial. In that amount of time, because the State of Alabama cannot borrow the money asked the County to. The County agreed to borrow thirty-four million dollars ($34,000,000.00) on behalf of the State of Alabama in addition to the thirty-six million dollars ($36,000,000.00) we were putting into the project. When we borrowed the money, we agreed to pay interest. For whatever reason, even though the State of Alabama agreed to pay the County back with their thirty-four million dollars ($34,000,000.00) in road projects, the State of Alabama did not agree to pay the interest. That was substantial. Thirty-two million dollars ($32,000,000.00). With all of those figures, if you subtract the road projects, which the State of Alabama has been very forthcoming and has been working well with us, we are not all the way there yet with the amount of money we agreed to borrow but we’re getting close. The County has put one hundred thirty-eight million dollars ($138,000,000.00) in this project and that includes the first abatement with years one (1) through ten (10). This second abatement is ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00) investment as well. I looked to see what abatement if you add what the City of Calvert, the State of

October 26, 2020

Alabama, and the County have invested in terms of abatements, that figure is well over six hundred million dollars ($600,000,000.00) total. I want you to know where I am coming from with this. I believe the County has been a good partner as we have invested heavily in the success of the steel manufacturing facility. I feel that this is just a step further than we need to take. That is the reason I am not supporting this move here today. I wanted you to understand that. It is not because I don’t appreciate the partnership and that I don’t appreciate the jobs, because we do.

Commissioner Merceria Ludgood: I would like to add I agree with Commissioner Hudson. We have made a significant investment and probably if we were doing it now, we would not be investing at the level we invested. That was a complicated time. I came onto the Commission in October 2007 and then November was the groundbreaking. I think they started business in 2010 or 2011. One of the things I have always said when I start to look at community economic development investment because it is something I am not an expert about, I look at the number of jobs that is going to bring and the amount of money those jobs are going to pay. From that figure, I look at what will be the continuing daily investment? In this case, since 2011 AM/NS Calvert and its predecessor have invested one billion nine hundred million dollars ($1,900,000,000.00) in payroll. They have paid more than one hundred eight million dollars ($108,000,000.00) in property taxes and four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000.00) capital investment just for AM/NS Calvert and now with Project Gator, an additional six hundred eighty-five million dollars ($685,000,000.00). While it was a lot of money, and I don’t argue with that, it is the gift that keeps on giving and giving. I think about the number of families lives who were transformed and who have been transformed by having a job at a place like ThyssenKrupp or AM/NS Calvert. I graduated high school in 1970. If you could get a job at Scott Tissue or I.P. or one of the chemical companies, you were set for life. You knew you would be able to buy a house for your family and send them to college. But now those kinds of jobs have gone away where you can do that in high school with little training. These manufacturing jobs are still available. You do not have to have a college degree. I look at what they are doing with those students coming out of Citronelle High School, where they come in making more than their parents have ever made. It is a lot of money and I understand the concern. But I believe on balance for me, the continuing contribution in terms of community involvement and payroll makes it more palatable.

Commissioner Ludgood moved, seconded by President Carl, that the Board approve tax abatement agreement with AM/NS Calvert LLC for granting abatements from Mobile County non-educational real property and personal property

October 26, 2020

ad valorem abatement taxes for the project, for years eleven (11) to twenty (20), subject to legal review, and authorize the President of the Commission to execute the agreement on behalf of Mobile County.

AGENDA #46

COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENTS AND/OR COMMENTS

Commissioner Connie Hudson: As you all know, today is President Carl’s last day to be in a formal meeting as a Commissioner.

President Jerry L. Carl: Don’t get too excited.

Commissioner Hudson: We wanted to take the opportunity to thank him for his service and wish him the very best in all of his future endeavors. He has been one busy guy at least this last year trying to serve in his role as a Commissioner and in campaigning. We wish you and your family the very best. We decided to circulate some cards among the employees because in case you do not have the opportunity to see everybody before you leave officially on November 11, 2020.

Commissioner Merceria Ludgood: November 10, 2020 at midnight.

Jay Ross, County Attorney: That is exactly right.

Commissioner Hudson: If you want to get legally technical about it. We circulated some cards to let everybody write their thoughts and feelings. More than one person mentioned how much they would miss those sweet treats and donuts that Commissioner Carl tends to bring in on a semi-regular basis. We wanted to present these to you.

President Carl: Thank you so much. That is so nice of you.

October 26, 2020

Commissioner Hudson: Let’s give him a round of applause. Good luck!

Commissioner Ludgood: I won’t miss your bad jokes.

President Carl: Commissioner Ludgood, no one will have skittles waiting for you either.

Commissioner Ludgood: What I really want to thank you for a lot of things, but mainly because when you came here you went to work for all of Mobile County. I think that is what makes the difference between a good Commissioner and a great Commissioner. When we get here, it is the County. We are to do whatever we can to make the County better, not just what we represent. I know you tried to do that. You were particularly helpful to me up on the north end of the County. I think that is a good thing. When people saw that, it gave them a better idea of how we work together when they see us doing things like that. I am like Commissioner Hudson. You will miss us.

President Carl: I will.

Commissioner Ludgood: You only have one need and one other vote here to get things done. But best of luck to you and thank you for your service.

President Carl: Thank you. I plan on being around. I have full intentions of winning next Tuesday on the General Election November 3, 2020. I will be around in helping not only the City of Mobile and the County, but also in other counties. I tell you it has been such a pleasure. The biggest growth I think I have done has been over the last eight (8) years because I came in with one (1) idea of how I thought things should be, ran, managed, and done. It is very hard to come from a private sector and move into a government role as an elected position. I will tell you, it was a lot of changing for me. I had some very patient teachers on both sides of me here. With the County employees, I could not pick a better group to work with. I won’t get around to every County employee as we have some out in the field and scattered in the Plaza. It has been an honor and it has been an honor to serve the people in District 3. I love my district. I will always be known as the Commish. I’ve got a feeling of the south part of the County which I am very proud of that. I am very proud to serve with these two ladies. Thank you. We are going to keep it brief and short because we have business to take care of. Thank you to everyone in the County for tolerating me at some moments and for the job that y’all do as County employees. Thank you very much.
